Anxiety Outcomes Scale Developed
March 16th, 2010
One of the most important aspects of clinical practice, outcome scales provide practitioners and clients alike with key information about client progress and response to various stimuli and treatments. While there are many self-reporting scales for anxiety, one such scale recently developed at Rhode Island Hospital has been created to allow for swift reporting and processing times, and to deliver a consistent and reliable accuracy. The scale has proven successful in resisting test-retest variance and is able to be completed in less than two minutes by a client, while scoring can take under thirty seconds. The scale may become popular in a number of clinical environments, especially those with demanding case loads.

although ‘scaling’ such things is not as easy as for other things or measurements, these kinds of innovations do prove to be useful for the people involved and hence must be encouraged.newer methods are always welcome as they aim at bettering the performance of the scale.
great idea hope that it works for patients who suffer from anxiety related disorders
This is a good way forward because self-reporting of the levels of anziety and other things may be subjected to various other parameters and aspects…hence an independent system will allow the proper and accurate measurement.
